Planet Matching Practice
Lesson Summary
This activity gives kids practice with the new and improved version of Kepler's Third Law. In the previous online lab they had to find the semimajor axis and orbital period of Moons of Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune and found out the relationship between the semimajor axis, orbital period and mass of object being orbited. However, the numbers were not very friendly to say the least. This activity gives them more practice with that and they'll be able to deal with “friendlier” numbers.
